CNN spoke with an international law professor...

“They were unable to find the evidence they needed to move forward. The seven-time Tour de France winner has adamantly denied doping during his unparalleled career.”

Another presidential candidate is throwing her hat in the ring. Former sitcom queen, Roseanne Barr -- perhaps best known for her rendition of the national anthem -- says on Twitter she’ll fight for gay rights, reconfigure American diets and try to legalize marijuana.

“...this isn’t a joke. She actually registered with the Federal Election Commission in late January to run for the Green Party.”
